Chapter 63

Heart was startled when she opened the door, and she met Lux’s tired appearance, clearly sleep-deprived, looking so exhausted. He was sitting on a stone, staring at the carpet. He looked disheveled and quickly stood up when he saw her.

It was like the first time for Heart, feeling nervous.

“W-Why are you here? I’m leaving soon.”

Lux shook his head and took her hand, “No. You stay here.”

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he brought her inside, then kissed her on the lips. She didn’t resist, but she didn’t respond either.

“You love me, right?” He asked.

“But you’re going to have a child, and I don’t want to take away a father from that child. I’m doing this because… because it’s also for my sake. I don’t want your child to accuse me of taking you away from them.”

“No!” Lux raised his voice and held her by the waist, “You didn’t take anyone away, remember that. It was my decision to take you, make you stay, and ask you to stay. I don’t want to lose you!”

    Chapter 64 Heart's response to Gigi's question about how she's doing was a deep sigh. They were walking home, keeping a distance from their friends as they mentioned that they had somewhere to go. Their tired friends chose not to join them and just headed straight to their apartment. "I'm here, trying to stay strong because I feel like he is so weak right now,” Heart said. "It's because sir Lux loves you, and he feels like be might lose you due to her wife’s revelation of pregnancy. But what if she is really pregnant, can you truly accept it?" She wasn’t able to answer because, in truth, she was also hurting. She wasn't a god with a perfect personality. Even though she repeatedly said it was okay that Diana was pregnant, there was still a hint of jealousy, envy, and bitterness in her mind and heart. It would be different once the child of Lux and Diana was born. Lux would spend quality time with the baby, and she didn't know how she would deal with it. She didn't want to pretend

    Chapter 65 Early morning(flashback) Lux stared at the cabinet inside their room with Diana, in their old house. He didn't know what he was doing there, but his own feet had led him there after he took a shower in his own home. Diana was still living there. She didn't leave. He walked into the walk-in closet and opened some cabinets. There were some of the woman's clothes. He rifled through them. He didn't know what he was looking for, probably evidence of other men in Diana's life. He pulled a drawer, and it was locked. He searched for the key on his key holder. He knew the key was there, and he found it. He opened it. It was filled with bottles. He took them out one by one and saw sleeping pills, vitamins, and contraceptive pills. He had a feeling this would happen. He rummaged through it again and found a piece of paper. It was a doctor's clinic and a prescription for Diana. It said "pills," and it was dated from three years ago, but he was more than sure that the bottle of p

    Chapter 66 Just like her decision, Heart's mind was divided between weighing and thinking. She really wanted to leave for a moment and be on her own. She wanted to be alone because she wanted to get to know herself. She felt very sad and wasn't sure if she would be able to work properly. When she wasn't working, she might just get bored at home. It seemed like she had no clear decision about anything. She watched Lux as he was packing. She had a bad feeling, thinking that he might not come back. If her mother were there, Lumeng might scold her because that old lady would say she was thinking too differently from reality. She tried to erase the thought that Lux wouldn't come back. After all, he was just going on a trip, and she shouldn't think that way. Deep inside her, she wanted to go with him. "I wish I were her,” she couldn't help but say, and it was too late to take it back. Lux immediately looked at her as she sat on the couch alone. "Baby, don't say that," he said and didn

    Chapter 67 – Lux OUT OF REACH. Lux cursed multiple times when he couldn’t contact Heart. He had been trying to call her for a while now, itching to have a conversation with her. He was damn excited because he had never had the chance earlier. Now was his opportunity to talk to her because Diana wasn’t following him around, wanting to be in the same room whenever he was. She was like a crazy dog that didn’t want to leave its owner’s side. Whenever he takes out his smartphone, her face immediately appears, peeking in. It wasn’t right, but he felt suffocated and unable to resist. She used her pregnancy as a weapon, and that was her way of getting what she wanted. What he did to quiet her down was to bring her to the bedroom so she could lie down. The door was left open and he didn’t close it. They were staying in Alfonso’s house, but he asked for a separate room. He acted as the mediator between Caleb’s and Katy’s parents. Throughout that moment, Katy was by his side. She didn’t wan

    Chapter 68 HEART was nowhere to be found, and Lux was feeling down and nervous. He couldn’t hold back the tears in his eyes as he walked towards Katy’s room. Elisa had mentioned that there were pregnancy test kits in her sister’s room, and she had asked for one for his plan. He would proceed with the plan despite his anxiety over Heart’s disappearance. He had already instructed Vandros to go to the police, even though it hadn’t been twenty-four hours since she went missing to declare it. He based it on her last text to him at around nine in the morning, saying that she was going to the doctor. “This is a generic test kit, elder brother, but it works like magic, too. The results are fast, just a few seconds. And Kuya, Ate Heart is really not responding, she’s out of the coverage area,” Katy explained as she handed him the kit. “Let’s hope nothing happens to her, Katy,” he replied to his sister. “My God, Kuya. Don’t even think about that. Nothing happened to her. Maybe… maybe…” she

    Chapter 69 He was waiting, staring at the kit without even blinking. Time seemed to stand still as the liquid moved towards the second line. There was already one line, and he was nervous. He didn't know whether to be happy if there were two lines or sad if there was only one. The urine reached the line. "Shit!" He cursed and almost punched the tiled bathroom wall. Lux felt a sense of dread, and tears welled up in his eyes. He had bitten his lip so hard it almost bled. Diana had made a fool out of him! All this time, she wasn't pregnant! Damn it! It was all part of her plan to pretend she was pregnant. Even the blood during their argument wasn't real. Everything was a fucking fake! How the hell did she do it? She was such a great actress. All this time there was only one line on the test! Heart had been right when she joked about Diana having something hidden in her underwear, probably to make it look like she was bleeding ang mostly having a miscarriage. Lux was furious with

    Chapter 70 "FRANC—" Heart couldn't finish her sentence as Franco suddenly kissed her, his hand holding the back of her neck tightly. "Kiss me back or I'll stab you, mistress," he said with an angry tone, and her entire system froze with fear. She let out a whimper and was trembling. She held onto his shoulders while closing her eyes, obeying his command though she was retching. Franco grinned with a sound, and she couldn't move while she felt the weapon against her back. "Get in," Franco commanded, his arms still wrapped around her, and the knife hidden. "Franco, please, don’t" she begged with tears in her eyes. “You thought I didn’t know? You’re just like my mother, always chasing money. You kept denying my offer, but you just want a married billionaire, huh?” He grinned with an insulting look. “Ma’am Diana has been closely watching her husband to make sure she wouldn’t be caught running after Enrico Mariano. It’s really lucky that you’re part of their story. My boss wanted to

    Chapter 71 Heart woke up and saw her mother's tearful face. She was lying on an old wooden bench, older than her. It was said to be made by her grandfather when her parents were newlyweds. "Child..." Lumeng said, choking back tears. Her father sat nearby, observing. He couldn't afford to be worried because it might cause complications after his recent heart surgery. The time when the doctors opened his chest was not quite long ago. She couldn't compromise, but how? "What happened to you, child?" her father, Conrado, asked. Her younger sister, Lexi, was gently stroking her head, smiling at her with teary eyes. She cried but didn't speak. The wall that had been steadfast and strong for so long finally collapsed. And that wall is no other than her. "Let's feed big sister first, Mom. She looks really tired," Lexus said, sitting next to her. "Yes, right," Lumeng said, her voice trembling, and her mother went to the kitchen, separated by a wooden divider. Heart struggled to sit u

    46.RUTH accepted a handshake offered by the manager, Vaughn Andaya. She was sitting in front of the man, who was in a swivel chair. She applied for a position at SM as a sales lady for an expensive clothesline worn by politicians in their area. A button-down shirt costs four thousand pesos.

    45.RUTH is holding her resignation letter, planning to give it to Lush Miguel. Patricia, facing her, reads the letter. “This is an urgent resignation letter, Miss Eduardo. It says you have something to attend to and will be away for a while. Where to?” Patricia asks with a smirk.“Confidential, Ma’am. I’ll be traveling today,” Ruth responds.“Okay. If that’s your decision, it’s hard to stop you. I don’t know your personal life and problems,” Patricia signs the letter without hesitation.Surprised, Ruth asks, “Won’t you submit it to the CEO?”“Nope,” Patricia shakes her head, “Lush had given me all the authority to decide as long as it’s under my supervision. In your case, since you’re under me, I’ll handle it. Besides, there are plenty who can replace you. Good luck.”Ruth nods and forces a smile. All the authority is with Patricia. Why should she be surprised? Patricia is probably the woman Lush mentioned as new, just unwilling to tell her.She turns away, heavy-hearted, wal

    44.FINISHED.He took a deep breath as Ruth gradually disappeared from his sight. Seated in his car, he waited like a thief, watching her run away with Muse’s cage.That’s all he could do, gaze at the girl from afar because, despite his anger, he genuinely loved her. Even in anger, he couldn’t insult or speak hurtful words to her.His respect for Ruth remained high despite everything, knowing she deserved it. Now, he envied Baron. That asshole's spouse was kind, and he hoped to find another Ruth someday, but not now.Lush badly needed time to heal, and the process wouldn’t be easy. He was sure of that because he was deeply hurt in his first experience of love.The young man lazily started the car engine, but he didn’t go in. He would go home, where his parents and Babuela were. He owed his parents an explanation. At thirty-one, he felt the need for a mother’s care. He needed his Mommy.When he arrived home, his shoulders still slumped. As soon as he entered the portico, his Mommy was

    43.1Ruth was startled when the door opened, and Lush’s imposing figure loomed over her. “Oh my!” she exclaimed, supporting the young man who peeked at her and smiled. He playfully tapped her nose with his index finger.“Hold on a moment,” she said, closing the door. “We can’t go upstairs; the stairs are too high, and we might both tumble down. Let’s sleep downstairs. Wait, I’ll get the blankets. Have a seat.”Hurriedly, she assisted him to sit on the sofa. He groaned and shook his head, but the young woman quickly went upstairs to retrieve the thick comforter from the bed.Descending again with the items, including Lush’s replacement clothes, she handed him the bottle of alcohol he still clutched.“I’ll take that,” she said, grabbing the bottle.He closed his eyes, his cheeks flushed. He remained the most handsome drunk she had ever seen.“Did you drive home like this? You’re really drunk. Next time, don’t get overly intoxicated. You might stumble or lose balance,” she lectured whi

    43.Lush choked on saliva. He couldn't find any words to respond to Ricky. Tearfully, he averted his gaze to hide his eyes. Did she lie to him? Did she conceal her real status? Her profile claimed she was single. Did she forget to update it? Damn! He wanted to rub his face, feeling suffocated. Is he serious about his feelings? Why is fate playing with him like this? The woman he loves is Baron's wife?Damn it!He almost clenched his fists. He wanted to cry and almost wanted to slap himself."Wait, Rick," he hastily excused himself from his friend and walked briskly towards the table with various expensive drinks.He stood in front of it, on the verge of tears. Is there another Ruth Eduardo in the world? Who?He couldn't explain his feelings. He was angry. Why did Ruth deceive him? If that's what happened?He grabbed a wine glass and drank. Unsatisfied, he took another and drank again. He repeated this to numb the pain in his heart. The time with Ruth might have been brief, but he knew

    42.Lush Miguel remained nonchalant, lounging. He was still in a four-post position. Ruth was sleeping after four rounds in bed. She was upstairs, and he left her momentarily. He went downstairs to have some coffee now.He grinned as he remembered her annoyance earlier when he introduced Patricia in the lobby as the supervisor. Ruth was jealous of the woman, and he found it amusing. Ruth already had feelings for him, but she was reluctant to admit it. He felt a different kind of joy when he heard the girl sulking in the bathroom earlier.He used to dislike having someone chase after him. He didn’t want anyone to be possessive, but now, he was proud of it. To the point that Ruth didn’t fence him in, and she didn’t hide. Luckily, he overheard her.He took the coffee cup and sipped, but he looked at the stairs when he saw Ruth descending.She was wearing his long sleeves, buttoning a few buttons.“Why are you still lounging?” she asked, obviously sleepy, with no slippers on.He glanced a

    41.The last message Lush Miguel sent her was when he mentioned driving his grandmother back home. It’s now ten in the morning, and the coffee break is over. She’s inside the restroom, yet there’s still no update.She’s also waiting for that. It’s a big miracle that she’s not being talked about in the entire company now because of what happened the other day. She’s been waiting to hear something since yesterday. She even told Berna about it so she wouldn’t be surprised.So far, Montevez has remained a peaceful environment for her, especially now that Dennis is no longer around.“Hey.”She winced and stopped mopping the floor as Berna approached her.“Come on, hurry. Your boyfriend is there with another girl!” Berna waved at her, causing her to furrow her brow.Lush?She quickly walked to the door and went outside. The janitors gathered in the lobby, all staring at a beautiful girl. She wasn’t tall, but her skin was exceptionally smooth. She was chubby and had blonde, long hair.She ca

    40.“IF I were you, go to the party, so your ex won’t have anything to say,” Ruth told Lush while talking on the cellphone. He was already in the hospital while she was in the penthouse. It was late, and she was alone. All lights were on because she had no company, but she wasn’t scared. He had a companion—the cat. It was amusing that when she asked Lush to take Muse from the condo, it was promptly done by Lush’s bodyguard.“Damn. I really don’t want to go there, sweetie.”“It’ll just be a moment,” she said, though deep down, she didn’t want him to go.Oh God! She gets jealous at the thought of Lush fooling around with that woman, Annelyn or any woman, but he can’t do anything about it. She wants to push him away so that if they break up, it would be easier for both of them.Ruth feels like she has a bomb in her head, a life-threatening illness, that could end any moment. As time passes, she gets closer or, more accurately, falls for the right guy at the wrong time, wrong circumstanc

    39.“Thank you,” Ruth smiled at Ricky when they left the police station. She declared that the missing person, who pretended to be kidnapped, was not really kidnapped. She published everything, with Ricky as her witness. The investigation was over. She had concluded everything.The police laughed, wondering why her own husband did such a thing to her. There was only one reason, Baron loved money more than her.“Your job for me is done,” Ruth added, acknowledged by the investigator.“Next time you need a private investigator, just call me directly. For simple matters and when I’m free, even without payment. It’s what makes me happy.”“But never trade a woman and leave her at the altar for an investigation,” she said meaningfully, and he laughed, getting the meaning of her words.“Of course. There’s a more deserving man for you, unlike dela Vega. Where to? Shall I drive you?”“No need. Thanks again.”“Alright, take care. I’ll get you a taxi.”Ricky walked towards the street, and she fol
